Frances O'Brien is an Irish woman living in Jersey (the island, not the state). Her writing career began in the marketing department of a large American computer corporation where she made a living penning press releases. Years of travel and glamorous living confirmed her suspicions that all families have their problems - no matter how famous or wealthy they might be. These day she is happy walking her dog on the beautiful beaches of her island home and writing the kinds of stories that she most enjoys reading.
